Becoming More Consistent: Breaking the "All-or-Nothing" Cycle & Learning to Persevere [Ep. 26]
How can we become more consistent with our eating and exercise habits? Because clearly, consistency is crucial for achieving our goals. If we approach our "consistency" from the perspective of “faithfulness”, we can see that this is as much a quality and maturity of personal character as much as it is about habit choices. On this episode, we'll see that as we're being refined to look more like Christ, it includes the area of faithfulness...being true to our word and doing what we say we're going to do. This requires humility, clarity, and lots of prayer. And it requires learning how to persevere through trials and hardships. We're going to address the pitfalls of having the "all-or-nothing" or perfectionism mindset, and why this holds us back more than anything else. And then we'll chat all about: How to set realistic expectations for yourself Creating backup plans Predicting the curveballs Having layers of accountability Your Questions Answered!
